Common problem. Either a "friend" has inserted a "joke" program, or video has been accidently reset by user. Most newer video boards have a "Customize" menu. On this menu is a setting to "rotate" screen. Open this menu and put the screen back where it should be.

or just turn the monitor 180 degrees .....LOL

or even better yet, tell the user that they will have to do a head stand to use their computer.

What kind of Video Card do they have installed? If the for example you have a motherboard with the intergrated Intel Extreme Graphics, you can click on the monitor icon in the systray and rotate the monitor. I am sure others have the same function.

On PCs with the 845 Intel Extreme Graphics chip, CTRL+ALT+arrow keys controls screen rotation.

Try CTRL+ALT+up arrow.

Thanks Frank4d.

The machine does have a Intel 845 Card.
And the Ctrl+Alt+ Up arrow fixed it.

Many Thanks!
